Applying for Naturalization after divorce

[visaqry]

Hello -

 

Need some help good folks! Here's my situation - 

 

I will be completing 5 years as a Permanent Resident in August, 2014. I got divorced after 2.5 years in marriage and so I needed to wait for 5 years to meet the eligibility requirement for Naturalization. Here are my questions -

 

1. Can I still apply for Naturalization in May, 2014? This is based on the fact that one can apply for Naturalization 90 days in advance.

 

2. After I file N-4000 and during the Naturalization process, if I get married, will it affect the Green Card process or K3 visa for my wife post my Naturalization? or is it recommended for me to wait for marriage until I get naturalized?

 

Your any help is appreciated!

You can file an N-400 up to 90 days before fulfilling the continuous residency requirement, provided that all other requirements are fulfilled.

When you marry doesn't matter for GC of the spouse.

looks like Marriage for Green Card situation...basically a fraud marriage.

I should qualify my last sentence: Filing for a GC for the spouse while still being an LPR of course means a delay for the GC, since the PD isn't current. Once you are a USC, there is no quota for the spouse.

K-3 use only available to citizens,
